The Fourth Amendment and Drug Crime Searches

The Fourth Amendment protects us from “unreasonable searches and seizures” by state and federal law enforcement officials. This means the police must have probable cause in making a search. They must have a search warrant detailing the specific location that is to be searched, or they must have sufficient reason to justify a warrantless search.

Evidence and Illegal Searches in San Bernardino & Riverside

Evidence obtained from an illegal search cannot be used against the defendant. Furthermore, if the unlawfully obtained evidence leads to more evidence, the additional evidence cannot be taken into consideration either.

4th Amendment and Probable Cause

The Fourth Amendment plays a large role in many drug crime cases in California. Police may find evidence in a person’s trunk, but they must have probable cause that searching the trunk will lead to relevant evidence. Otherwise, the evidence, and perhaps the entire case, will get thrown out.

In handling a drug crime case, our attorneys will explore all elements of the arrest and search to determine if our clients’ rights were violated in any way. We are often able to get cases thrown out because the police acted unlawfully in conducting a search. In every case, we apply our thorough approach to defense law to obtain the best possible result for our clients.
